Introduces new DataGrid component, sweeping line chart type and visual themes.
Features
- Next Generation Color Themes:
- darkGold.
- cyberSpace.
- turquoiseHexagon.
- light.
- lightNature.
- Custom - create your own Next-Gen color themes.
- New DataGrid Component
- The DataGrid component is a novel feature introduced as a stand-alone component that can allocate numbers and text grids.
- DataGrid has built-in formatted coloring and spark charts for displaying historical trends in small spaces.
- DataGrid is sold separately as an expansion pack for LightningChart JS users.
- Sweeping Line Charts
- Adds partial support for sweeping line chart applications which are widely used in the medical industry.
- Visual Improvements
- Adds subtle shadows behind text, series, legend, default colors, styles, and fonts.
- Extra depth to visualizations provides a more vivid appearance.
- The visual improvements do not compromise performance so you can improve the design and look of your apps without compromising a smooth user experience.
- Performance Improvements
- Increased how LightningChart JS performs mouse picking interactions, users can now attach custom events when a complicated visualization is clicked or dragged.
- The initial loading speed of all the charts has improved by 10-20 milliseconds. This improvement removes the difficulty of initial loading optimization for some charts.
- 3D line chart users of LightningChart JS 3.3/3.4 can now experience a performance improvement of 10x – 100x.
- Developer Experience
- setDrawOrder - Developers can now easily control what is displayed on the top and the bottom of the visualization.
- Change Title Position - Introduces the change title position, a convenient method for end-users to move the ChartXY title between the default and a handful of key locations.
- Auto Cursor - The auto cursor now works above the series. There is no longer a need to disable the series interactions in order to display the cursor.
- New Features
- Custom Interactions - By default, most LCJS charts are interactive. The most common interactions are features like “data cursors”, “panning”, and “zooming”. Going further, it is commonly required to be able to add custom interactions to charts. For example, clicking on a chart to add a marker, dragging on a data trend to highlight a range of the data, or hovering over data to show possible actions or more information.
- Mouse Interactions - Some of the already familiar methods from 2D mouse interactions will be added to 3D interactions. Some of the methods included are onMouseMove, onMouseDrag, onTouchStart, etc.
- Includes new interaction performance improvements relevant for those users who might have previously disabled the interactions due to performance reasons.
- Animated Highlighting of Focused Components - By placing the mouse over a Legend, or a component directly, it will display a highlight animation giving more life to your visualizations.
